THE DONNAS
"40 BOYS IN 40 NIGHTS/SCHOOL'S OUT" 7"
Lookout! Rec. 2001
When I saw this 7" I took it just because of B side - "School's Out", cover of famous Alice Cooper's hit.
A side you already have on "Turn 21" (if you have that great record). But when I played "School's Out" I
was pretty disappointed. Donnas did it pretty bad and without inspiration, so honestly if you are not
huge Donnas fan - you don't need this 7" at all - rather play your dusty Alice Cooper original - it's more
powerful than this weak Donnas' cover.

THE FLAKES
"BIP BAM BOOM" 7"
Just Add Water Rec. 2001
This is one more band with Russel on drums (Mummies, Bobby Teens, Dukes Of Hamburg, Phantom
Surfers) and it kicks ass!!!! It's 77 style punk band. "Bip Bam Boom!" is a real killer and "Roulette" on B
side sounds great too. Production is trashy so don't expect some hi-fi sound - well who cares about
production. I just hope The Flakes will make more great stuff and till then you can spin this great 7".

GORE GORE GIRLS
"Strange Girls" LP
Get Hip 2001
I heard this band for the first time on tape Dale (Smashin Transistors) sent me and first time I got chance to
get their record I bought it. They are all girl band from Detroit and they are definitely the rawest and
wildest all girl band I heard till now. Songs are really great and catchy and besides the energy that's the
most important thing for me. "Hunt You Down" opens A side and it's such good garage punk that you
can only scream, but Gore Gore Girls just don't care and they rock and don't give you much time to catch
some breath. "Love Machine" seems to be cover, maybe I have this song in my record collection, but I
can't remember it, maybe because Gore Gore Girls version is good, just like "I'm gonna Get You yet" (one
more cover unknown to me). "Cattle Call" closes A side in the same furious tempo like it started. Other
side is maybe even better. Garage punk/r'n'r very very primitive and just the way I like. I'm tired of
writing about his record to you - just go and get it. You won't be sorry!!!

THE INTELLIGENCE 7"EP
Dragnet Records 2000
This is very greeny record - green sleeve, green vinyl. Musically Intelligence sound like trash punk
version of early The Fall. There are 5 songs on this 7" EP and they all sound even good, so it's difficult to
choose my favorite. Probably some of you won't like this because of new wave influences, but for me
this is good record. At least different from most stuff I'm hearing lately.
Unfortunately there is no info about adress, email or website.

INTIMATE FAGS
"SIMPLE MINDED/LIGHTNING SPEED" 7"
Freaked Out Frequencies 1999
This is 2nd 7" by Intimate Fags I came across. The first one was really great and this one is a killer too..
Fink from Teen Generate produced this record too and he did great job. Musically it's Japanese trash
punk like Teengenerate and if you miss them - here are Intimate Fags - another great band.
